Current world record run, breaking the previous record held by DW3 GOAT MazzTheMan. This took hours of grinding. Not the record itself, but to get a weapon on Xiauhou Dun with max bow attack. I was confident that Dun's spawn made him the only option for running this specific map. Mazz finally agreed and grinded out the weapon and took my record with a bow strat. I had to grind even harder because my items were also not maxed. I broke the record one other time with an even faster run (as shown in my records screen) but unfortunately my recording was bugged. This run broke Mazz's by the smallest margin but it was good enough... for now. I believe this run can be further optimized into the 46 second range and maybe below that. And I will do so when I have the time. There are two specific optimizations I can see that would reduce the time further. 1 to let the enemy soldiers knock you off the horse and flip out (I believe this is faster than dismounting). 2 to fire an uncharged arrow as the second arrow at Yuan Shao. I am not sure exactly the mechanics of the arrow damage, but I accidently did not charge the second arrow in one of my runs and it killed anyway. This, however, seems much less consistent than the charge arrow strat, which in itself is not consistent already. I'm sure Mazz will top this run, but I will always take it back ;) . Cheers!
